--QUOTE: Arno Garrels It's the latter, however the point when V6 has been split from the common base is already some years back and hard to restore. There will be no new features in V5 so merging between V5 and V6 is most likely not required. Also revision numbers are incremented for the entire project/repository. But I could very well live with both in the same repository as well, locally I also treat them as two different projects. -- END.
Ok, I understand. I was thinking that perhaps code fixes done to V6 may need to be merged with V5 for maintenance and legacy support, but I'm not sure if that will be case since the code may be so much different. About the revision numbers, do not think of them as version numbers -- they are _not_ -- they represent the revision number of the repository, and do not relate to any specific file, project or module; and in this, SVN is different than CVS and other version control systems. Project version numbers are usually maintained by tagging: You create a new "Tag" and call it "ICS_v6.5" or whatever (and add a log note specifying the revision number from where it was created, for reference). This marks a specific milestone or point in time in the repository as belonging to that version. The revision numbers are for internal repository use and code maintenance and administration; and they identify merely a change to the repository, not even which files where changed (although this is available in the revision log). SVN does not make any distinction between files, directories, projects, etc -- all those things are for the developer's convenience. To SVN, the repository is one big file stream, so adding a directory or a project means nothing but a change to the repository (like a diff patch), which increments its revision number. This is a very subtle point, but it is very important when dealing with SVN. Therefore, it makes no difference if all projects exist in the same repository or not, as long as your file organization is coherent. -dZ. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
